The M4 is not an easy car, no way – the first time you go full throttle you might end up against a tree and start doubting ‘bout your “Sunday Driver” skills, thanking that electronics that saved for the millionth time your neck and your reputation. This is true – point that on the fridge – but it is also true that when I decide to dive more into it and turn off traction control, going to induce oversteering situations, I find myself controlling the rear with the tip of three fingers. The ease with which you maintain a controlled drift during a spacious corner and the quickness needed to straighten the car, without the slightest pendulum effect, blends the cards on the table, making me understand that the balance and the M4’s responsiveness is something pretty extraordinary. Yes it’s a bit too sober, it may need an aftermarket exhaust system and the dash seems to have changed a little compared to its predecessors, but when it comes to ticking the important voices of a driving experience, it succeeds in everything that matters most today.
